• Assigning volume or substrata feature definition for closed meshes generated from Leapfrog, imported in dgn format, on OpenRoads.

    Can I assign 'volume' or substrata feature definition for closed meshes generated from Leapfrog, imported in dgn format, on OpenRoads? Imported meshes have volume greyed out in properties. I need to run cut and fill volume report for substrata based on…

    I'm trying to get a clean trim between earthworks which are not tangential. The scenario is that I have a footway corridor and on the back of it is a separate earthworks linear template (references the back line in the corridor) because the back of…
  • is there a way to generate the slope like this using mxroad ?

    Hi everyone, is there a way to generate both the cut and fill slope when it comes to terrain like this ? The problem is the ground treatment level varies from chainage to chainage, and mxroad allows input for one level datum where i can set where my fill…

  • Splitting up a design for a 4D simulation

    Hi all We're looking into incorporating the 3D models created by corridors into a BIM environment - specifically the 4D construction/ phasing simulation. From ORD 2018 Release 4. What is the best way to export the model in sections for this purpose…
  • ORD Earthworks volumes

    Hi, I am looking for a method to calculate more complex cut/fill volumes with Openroads Designer update 2. This could be easily done with EAV methods, now it seems more cumbersome as EAV tools are not included in the software package anymore. I am aware…
